HeadPause vs SteadyGaze

HeadPause guides vertigo and BPPV exercises, including Epley, Semont, and Brandt-Daroff, using AirPods head tracking. HeadPause is a practice tool for balance, stillness, steadiness, and ear calm. It reads head pitch, roll, and yaw from the motion sensors in your AirPods and turns every session into a small, honest score. No microphone. No HealthKit. No account. Nothing leaves your phone. FOUR PRACTICES Balance. Symptom-first vestibular routines for positional vertigo and BPPV. Epley, Semont, Brandt-Daroff, Half-Somersault, BBQ Roll, and Gaze Stabilization. Each maneuver is voice-guided, paced by the motion in your AirPods, and timed step by step. Still. Eyes-closed steadiness sessions with a soft soundscape. Sit, breathe, and let the app measure how much your head drifts inside a six-degree tolerance window. You leave with three numbers: calm score, held-steady percent, and peak drift. Motion. A horizon-hold anchor for moving environments. A gentle box-breathing pacer plays in your AirPods while you keep your head level. Soft haptic nudges when you drift out of the tolerance window for too long. Built for cars, trains, planes, and walking. Ring. Sound sessions for masking, focus tones, wind-down, and quiet-room support. Works with any headphones, EarPods included. A comfort tool for your ears, not a tinnitus treatment. WHY AIRPODS The motion sensors in AirPods, AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max already track your head roughly ten times a second. HeadPause is the practice loop built around that signal. No new hardware, no extra pairing, no microphone access. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT One permission: AirPods motion. That is it. No microphone, no HealthKit, no location. Head motion samples are read in memory, scored, and discarded. Only the derived summary is saved. No account, no sign-up, no ad tracking. Optional iCloud sync if you want practice history across your own devices. FREE TIER Brandt-Daroff and Gaze Stabilization routines, Still sessions up to 3 minutes, Motion horizon-hold with box-breathing pacer, Ring masking, and the last thirty days of history. Always free, no account required. PRO UNLOCK, $19.99 One-time unlock. Yours forever. Full Balance library (Epley, Semont, Half-Somersault, BBQ Roll). Longer Still sessions and more soundscapes. All five Motion environments with drift haptics and trip telemetry. Full Ring sound studio (masking, focus tones, wind-down, quiet-room support). Full practice history and iCloud sync across your devices. WHO IT IS FOR Anyone living with BPPV or positional vertigo who wants a quiet, guided way to practice canalith repositioning maneuvers. Meditators who want an eyes-closed signal that does not require opening their eyes. Passengers on bumpy drives, flights, boats, or busy trains who want a grounded anchor. Anyone curious what the word steady actually means for their own head. NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE HeadPause does not diagnose or treat vertigo, BPPV, motion sickness, or any other condition. The scores and metrics are practice rulers, not clinical measurements. If dizziness is new, severe, or worsening, contact a clinician. Made by GMX3C.
